of "ms." would debate this issue. >> i do not find the body of work admiral at all. i think it's a part of the problem, not part of the solution. >> we do know that in nature and pand the pursued. is the pursuer >> that's not true. >> but i think it is the attraction -- >> it's just not true. it's an old-fashioned point of view. >> reporter: hefner never backed down from his insistence that he played a pivotal part in society from unshackling notions about sex. no doubt in his mind that he propelled society forward with his message. >> i believe that embracing sexuality is part of what it means to be free. >> he certainly freed the male libido. his magazine serving up both style and desire. as well as occasional unease throughout the decades, michael. >> chris, he was -- hefner was a polarizing figure. some say he was an advocate for equal rights. others say he took advantage of women in hollywood. how do you think people will remember him? >> i would like to hear a wide variety of voices responding to that question in the days to come, michael. i think certainly the founding

of "playboy" was a rebellious act but the magazine was so successful that 15 or 20 years into its life it was a mainstream institution, almost ike a beer company. and as any institution that successful, it struggled to adapt to change and in the case of "playboy,"hat change was represented by the women's movement. but i think we'll hear a lot of different voices responding to that question as hefner is remembered over the days ahead. >> i'm sure we will. chris connelly, thank you. we'll also hear a lot of people say i just read it for the articles. there we go. robin, what's coming up on the big board. >> i was wondering who was going to be the first to say that, michael. coming up on the big board, pumpkin spice overload. crazy places we're seeing the craze. breakfast biscuits, okay, but deodorant? we'll talk about it on the big board. ast biscuits, okay, but deodorant? we'll talk about it on the big board. ts, okay, but deodorant? it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in.

where some people are saying we need a pumpkin intervention. >> reporter: here we go again. time for our autumn obsession with all things pumpkin. >> what's that? >> reporter: pumpkin spice is everywhere. these days it's not for lattes anymore. cookies, potato chips, coffee, cough drops, all taste like fall. >> tell me then, what is this contraption? >> reporter: there are even things like pumpkin spice face mask or candles, treats for your dog. if that's not enough pumpkin, maybe you want to smell like one. throw on some pumpkin spice deodorant or lip balm. many are pointing to this creation as a sign we've lost our pumpkin minds. just ask jimmy kimmel. >> someone, i don't know who, probably a monster thought it would be a good idea to combine pumpkin spice and pizza. two things that go together like peanut butter and snow tires, okay? i'm afraid i'll have to ask you to pick up youphones and call your senators again.

tell them we will not stand for pumpkin spice pizza. >> we have it right here. >> help yourselves. >> i'm good. >> some point to starbucks being responsible for the craze in 2004. the first recorded pumpkin spice recipe was back in 1796. this has been around for a long time. this is essentially pie mix. >> what is exactly in the pumpkin spice blend? >> if you want to make it, you start with a pumpkin and you get it out of the way. there's no pumpkin in pumpkin spice. >> what? >> it's cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, other things that you would find in a pumpkin pot. there is not a lick of pumpkin. >> there's no pumpkin? >> no. >> that's deceptive. the deception. every time you do think about pumpkin spice, you think about the fall season, and it's not going anywhere any time soon. but is there anything else that might be creeping up to take the place? >> keep an eye on maple.

are still to be worked out but here are the broad outlines of his plan. first of all, it would slash the corporate rate 35% down to 20%. for individuals and families it would decrease the number of tax brackets from seven to just three. and it would double the standard deduction. for families that would mean no income tax whatsoever on the first $24,000 of income and the president's team as you saw earlier on "gma" is insisting no tax cut whatsoever for the wealthy. >> can you guarantee president trump won't get a tax cut under this plan? >> george, when we looked at the tax plan and look what it does for americans, we are very confident that americans are getting a great deal here. we've also said that wealthy americans are not getting a tax cut. >> george, there are several provisions in this tax plan that would appear to be a big tax cut for the wealthy including eliminating the estate tax, reducing the top bracket. and eliminating the alternative minimum tax.

we'll have to see how the details work out. >> and whether some middle class families will face a tax increase as well even though many if not most, will get a tax cut. jon karl, thanks very much. our other top story this morning, the death of hugh hefner. the man who started "playboy" magazine at his kitchen table et his los angeles homedi. chris connelly with a closer look at how he changed hollywood. good morning, chris. >> good morning, michael. not many people change american society. even fewer of them are magazine editors. hugh hefner fired one of the first shots of a sexual revolution. in hollywood the town built on the mass production of fantasy, that made him a figure to be reckoned with. >> a best life is one where one pursues one's own personal dreams. >> reporter: even hollywood the dream factory could only marvel at the bold dreams hugh hefner made real for himself and his magazine's readers.

and the pleasure principles of the "playboy" philosophy as he depicted on his own shows like "playboy after dark." while the l.a. the playboy mansion became a hollywood house of hedonism. >> lots of people date other girls. i date them at the same time. >> reporter: hefner's party excerpting an appeal on male celebrities. attendees including leonardo dicaprio, james caan and "giving tree" author shell silverstein. later shows like "the girls next door" would bring comedy and hi jinks to the mansion and hefner's creed doe would still hold sway. >> there are a number of areas in terms of america, a country that i love, that were wrong headed, attitudes towards race and sexual behavior. >> no question he and his magazine certainly helped to transform what we saw in the movies, what we saw on television.

in search for an answer. >> i work out all the time and eat right. it was very confusing. i went to a bunch of different doctors and they basically told me you'll level out. it's fine. i ended up gaining over 70 pounds. i finally was like this is not normal. >> reporter: sasha said she was diagnosed with poly cystic ovary syndrome, a female hormone imbalance that can lead to weight gain, infertility and ute rin cancer affecting one in ten women of child-bearing age. >> i have a treatment plan. it's helped my soul because i'm back to me again. >> reporter: now dancing is helping her not only lose weight but gain back her confidence. >> have you seen any weight loss since you started? >> i've lost close to 20 pounds now. >> reporter: sasha starting to feel like herself once again. >> to be able to wake up and be like, yeah, i'm ready to go, i feel good, it's amazing. >> are you in it to win it? >> 100%. that mirror ball is going to be mine.

>> reporter: for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, hollywood. >> you go sasha and thank you, abby. we're joined by dr. jennifer ashton. you know about this condition all too well. how many patients come and see you? >> literally on the daily basis. it's often referred to as the most common and least understood hormonal condition affecting women. it's not a disease. it's a syndrome. there's no one definitive test for it. it's an over activity of the ovarian function. ordinarily your ovaries are very orderly. you can think of a penguin one at a time jumping off that iceberg. in pcos all those penguins are jumping together. your ovaries are producing a lot more hormones. >> what are the symptoms? and how is it diagnosed? >> there's a range of symptoms. the mainstay is irregular menstrual cycles. you can have excessive body hair, severe acne on the back or chest. when you see that on a woman,

that can be a red flag. elevated testosterone and ultrasound findings. we use ultrasound less often today because usually you can make this diagnosis really talking to the person. we heard also weight gain can be part of it. >> this affects a lot of teens. what should parents know? >> it can affect 5% to 10% of teenagers. making the diagnosis in a teenager can be more complicated because ordinarily their symptoms are less mature. after a year if they have this, they have as much as a 50% chance of having pcos. it's key to make this diagnose early, empowering the teenager and her parents so that the risk of future heart risk and diabetes can be lessened. >> educate us right now. you have some food here. nutrition is a factor. this can lead to other conditions. >> exactly. nutritional support is a main stay. i think it's well-known if you lose just 5% of your body weight, if you're overweight

that can reduce some of the signs and symptoms of pcos. lean protein, some good carbs are really, really key, lowering sugar, and working with a nutritionist or a physician who knows about how diet and hormones interact can make a world of difference. this is about managing pcos so it doesn't manage you. >> bless sasha for being open about it and discussing it in the hopes of helping others. >> that's going to help so many people and the exercise has been huge for her. >> you can see sasha on "dancing with the stars" monday night 8:00 p.m. earn on abc. go outside to rob. >> check it out, robin, people from washington, from florida, and all over the country. an rv road trip from where? >> bar harbor all the way down to saint augustine, florida. >> you look so happy. let me know how it goes around about georgia. it feels cold out here relative to what we've been dealing with. look at this kite surfer dealing
